We have a small local Co-op convenience store, and while I still have to go elsewhere for some items, I'm going to the Co-op more now because I can walk there if there's not much to carry, and even if I have to take the car, it's only 5 minutes drive away.
Today I spent £41.80. I had coupons from the Co-op to the value of £7.20, so that brought the spend down to £34.60.
Then they gave me a coupon for £1 off fruit and veg, a £4 coupon off if I spend £40 within a week, and another £4.20 coupon to use any time before Christmas. The coupons can all be used together.
It's enough to make me feel Christmassy. Why go to Tesco?

My nearest "supermarket" is a Co-op too, janeainsworth. They seem to be making a real effort with discount coupons at the moment. I got a letter (yes, I do have one of their membership cards) last month to say that this is because there's no divi this year as they didn't make a profit (blame the fiasco with the Co-op bank.) But I seem to be quids in, my coupons have been worth more than my average divi 
I just hope they're not miscalculating!
I didn't know that about the divi, pam but I'm taking advantage of their very good 
offers too which compensates as well
